Post Subject: Some Grease?Posted by Paul S on: 2/14/2018
Short of an Audio Desk Ultra-Sound unit, like Mark's, I've been thinking about trying some stuff I found called "Crud Buster", because it seems to clean other stuff without messing things up. The label says it contains: Ethoxylated Alcohol, Sodium Metasilicate Pentahydrate, Glutamic acid, N-di-acetic acid, tetra-sodium salt, and Sodium Hydroxide.  Maybe the Glutamic acid is some sort of "grease", and I'm hoping this will "lubricate" the record surface just enough, as I believe extreme drying effects exacerbate the "scratchy" sound.  Of course, as we've beaten to death already, too much grease = too little "traction" for the stylus.
